The Animal Welfare Society of South Africa was founded in March 1929. Our organisation is member-based, non-governmental and an autonomous NPO and registered PBO established to ensure the rights, health and welfare of all animals.
Over the past 97 years we have consistently executed our Mission to champion the cause of all animals. We have achieved this through:
• Professional veterinary care
• Inspectorate services
• Humane education, Sterilisation and Outreach projects
• Successful adoption and foster programmes that every year places many animals in loving forever homes
The Society relies almost solely on donations and does not receive state funding.
Humane education as a pro-active animal cruelty preventative measure is pivotal in all we do.
We offer a full range of veterinary services to the underprivileged and disadvantaged communities of the Cape Metro.
From our base in Philippi, we handle about 4 000 animals per month. Our clinic is open 7 days a week to accommodate those who are unable to bring their pets during the week. We have 4 fully-equipped and very busy theatres where we do sterilisations, orthopaedic operations and many other procedures.
At any one time we can house in excess of 175 sick or injured animals. We are committed to sterilising and microchipping every animal that comes through our hospital as part of our contribution towards reducing the number of strays, homeless and unwanted animals in the Cape Metro.
Our Animal Care Centre takes in stray, homeless, unwanted, abused, and abandoned animals and finds them their forever homes. All animals at the centre are medically assessed, vaccinated, treated for internal and external parasites, microchipped and sterilised before leaving our care.
Our Inspectorate Department responds to daily calls for cases relating to animal cruelty and general neglect of animals, as well as ongoing reported cases of animal fighting in our communities. We often respond to reports of injured stray animals on our public roadways and assist with the treatment and care of wildlife.

The past year has yet again demonstrated the superb professionalism of all who work and volunteer for AWS SA.
The challenges have been many, from fires to shear capacity pressures, which continue to be met with a high level of professionalism and dedication to the task at hand. This report reflects that.
However, one very sad moment was the passing of my wife Pamela as Patron. She was dedicated to AWS SA and added great value to aid its success. With this in mind I have accepted to succeed her as Patron and will do my level best to match her dedication.
Best wishes

2025 was another outstanding year for the Animal Welfare Society of South Africa.
Through strong leadership, sound management, and the dedication of its team, AWS continues to provide essential veterinary care and support to animals belonging to some of the most vulnerable members of our community.
None of this would be possible without the commitment and generosity of so many people – staff, management, patrons, ambassadors, donors, testators, volunteers and friends. Each plays a vital role in enabling the organisation to fulfil its mission.
Congratulations to the entire AWS team for their continued compassion, professionalism and dedication.
John le Roux AWS SA President
Woolworths has replaced the MySchool MyVillag MyPlanet programme with a new loyalty programme – MYDIFFERENCE.
To keep supporting us, please re-select us as your preferred cause.
To update your cause, and to ensure that we don’t lose vital funding:
1. Download and open the Woolworths app
2. Login or register
3. Go to Loyalty > My Causes
4. Search for The Animal Welfare Society of South Africa and confirm us as your cause.
This has been an auspicious year for the society as we move forward to 2026.
Apart from our mandated objectives, we have expanded our services by training staff to form close knit response units as fire marshals, disaster response, first-aiders, snake handlers and wildlife response teams. All the units were given professional training and the necessary attire and equipment to keep them safe in every situation.
Our hospital which is the core of our operations has been upgraded with some of the latest technology and is an ongoing process allowing us to have the capacity to handle more than 170 surgical procedures in a morning in a sterile environment for our sterilisation campaigns.
With the assistance of fellow organisations, we are able to collect, prep, operate and return the pets to their owners in the same 24-hour period.
None of this would be possible without the support of our sponsors, staff and the plethora of local and international volunteers.
The heads of each department will expand on their respective areas under their supervision in this report.
I extend my gratitude to our executive and all those who have contributed to making 2025 a memorable year.
Dr John McMullen AWS SA Chairman and CEO
The Society’s operational income – comprising donations, income for services rendered, fundraising initiatives, bequests, and other support – strengthened during 2025.
Total operating income increased by approximately 18% compared to 2024, a commendable result given the continued financial pressure experienced across the sector.
A significant driver of this performance was bequest income, which increased materially in the year and accounted for approximately 57% of total income. Donations and fundraising contributed a further 32%, veterinary services and adoptions 5%, and interest, subscriptions, and other income 7%. We remain deeply grateful to every donor, supporter, and legacy giver whose generosity enables the Society to continue its vital work.
Overall operating expenses remained well controlled in 2025 and broadly in line with the prior year, with total expenditure effectively flat year on year. The main areas of expenditure continue to be the Philippi Hospital and Administration, while certain
other categories reflected reductions from the prior year – a testament to the Society’s continued focus on disciplined cost management without compromising service delivery standards.
The Society generated an operating surplus for 2025, which is a pleasing improvement on the prior year and has eased immediate pressure on capital reserves. Continued support through donations, bequests, and service-related income remains essential to ensure the Society’s long-term sustainability and its ability to provide the highest standard of care and protection to animals in need.
The Annual Financial Statements will be available at the AGM and on request from carmen@awscape.org.za.
Ann Sanders CA(SA) Treasurer
Throughout 2025, the organisation maintained a strong public presence across multiple media platforms. Our work and animal rescue stories were featured in major newspapers, local community publications, magazines, and broadcast media, significantly increasing public awareness of our mission and activities.
Our 2025 Pawsome Stories booklet was exceptionally well received and played an important role in strengthening our professional public profile. Production costs were fully offset through generous donor support.
A key milestone during the year was the development and launch of our new website on 1 March 2025. The website significantly enhances our digital presence, donor engagement, and fundraising capabilities. During the year we also successfully transferred our domain to B & M Systems and implemented a new email system without disruption to operations. All staff were issued with interactive email signatures linked to our website and online fundraising platforms.
To strengthen governance and protect the organisation’s intellectual property, a suite of legal policies was added to the website, improving compliance and risk management.
Our visibility was further enhanced through inclusion in two popular fundraising calendars: the City of Cape Town Fire Services Calendar, which sold out, and the Ripped & Rescued Calendar. Several of our rescue stories received notable media attention. One particularly moving story, featuring a dog named Karnallie, was selected by The Dodo –
an internationally recognised platform for animal welfare storytelling.
Dr Mac’s 50th work anniversary was celebrated on 22 October at the Artscape Opera House. The event was well attended and received extensive media coverage.
There is strong potential for the South African Veterinary Association (SAVA) to formally recognise Dr Mac’s exceptional contribution and long service to veterinary medicine and animal welfare.
Partnerships and community engagement
During the year we strengthened relationships with several organisations and community groups.
We partnered with the environmental organisation Save a Fishie for a highly successful beach clean-up at Milnerton Beach. The event removed nearly 1 000 kg of plastic waste, attracted several new donors, resulted in three dog adoptions, and generated more than half a ton of pet food donations.
Our participation in community events continued to generate meaningful engagement. Highlights included:
• Faircape Property Group’s Annual Staff Wellness Day, where two puppies were adopted and substantial in-kind donations were received.
• The OUTsurance Gun Run, which included a fully subscribed 5 km dog walk.
• Our Mandela Day “Buckets of Love” initiative, supported by the Personal Trust team, which provided meaningful assistance to animals and pet owners in need.
Significant progress was made during the year in strengthening operational capacity through donations of vehicles, equipment, and infrastructure.
A new truck sponsored by our Patron, Neville Isdell, was placed into active service, greatly enhancing our operational mobility. William Simpson donated a new JAC 4x4 vehicle, and the founders of Deep South Animal Educare donated their Nissan NP200 following the dissolution of their organisation.
Infrastructure improvements were also undertaken to enhance security and operational efficiency. Through donor support, six streetlight poles and additional lighting were installed, significantly improving safety around the facility.
SANCCOB generously donated a large stainless-steel hospital table and sink, strengthening our veterinary and clinical infrastructure. Funding was also secured for the replacement of our X-ray machine and the repair of our autoclave, ensuring the continued delivery of high-quality veterinary care.
Members of our operational team were issued with new cellular phones, and the City of Cape Town provided a batch of previously impounded handsets for organisational use.
Fundraising performance remained strong across multiple income streams during the year.
Our monthly debit order donor programme continued to grow steadily. Website improvements and new digital donation links have made it significantly easier for supporters to contribute online. We now offer six secure donation options via our website – including SnapScan, PayStack, and GlobalGiving – enabling
both local and international supporters to give with ease.
Income from trusts and foundations remained robust. Key grants secured during the year included an award from Humane World for Animals (Africa) to support disaster preparedness initiatives, as well as generous funding from the Nedgroup Trust Charities, with further opportunities anticipated in the next grant cycle.
Corporate partnerships continued to play a vital role. TMF Fund Services selected us as their Charity of Choice for the second consecutive year, while Garden Cities adopted the organisation as their Charity of Choice for 2025.
To honour one of our most significant supporters, a Major Donor Recognition Plaque was unveiled on 17 January in recognition of the extraordinary generosity of our Patron, Neville Isdell.
The organisation received substantial inkind donations during the year, particularly in the form of pet food and household goods. Major contributions included:
• Approximately nine tons of pet food from Hills, Martin & Martin, and Absolute Pets Constantia.
• A further 3.5 tons of dog food from Hills and Martin & Martin.
• Twenty-nine pallets of dissolvable laundry pods, along with a range of household goods.
Thanks to the generosity of Dr Jim and Marilynn McNamara, we were also able to purchase additional pet food to support struggling pet owners.
The scale of these donations enabled us not only to sustain our own operations, but also to distribute food to vulnerable pet owners and assist other animal welfare organisations in need.
During the year we identified and addressed a reputational risk when a questionable organisation attempted to raise funds using our name. The matter was reported to the Independent Sector Practitioner Association, which issued an immediate takedown notice. The rogue organisation complied without dispute.
Constructive engagement with the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) continued throughout the year. Although the second tranche of funding was received only on 4 November 2025, we successfully concluded the surgical phase of the project on 30 September 2025 by temporarily reallocating organisational funds and resources, which were subsequently reimbursed upon receipt of the final NLC payment.
Thanks to an extraordinary response from the community, along with additional funding from Dancers Love Dogs, we were able to sterilise 790 pets – comprising 81 dogs and 709 cats. The project also provided a valuable opportunity to educate and empower pet owners and the broader community, many of whom have expressed keen interest in participating in our next NLC-sponsored initiative.
Progress continued on several estates that will contribute significantly to the organisation’s long-term financial sustainability.
A promising partnership was established with The GEM Project in Atlantis, an organisation focused on fostering, rehabilitating, and rehoming rescued dogs. Following a positive facility visit, several dogs have already been transferred into their care. This collaboration has the potential to expand our fostering capacity and improve rehoming outcomes for rescued animals.
2025 has been a year of strong progress across communications, fundraising, partnerships, and infrastructure development. The organisation has strengthened its public profile, achieved international recognition, expanded its donor base, secured significant funding, and cultivated meaningful partnerships that will enhance its ability to protect and care for animals.
With these foundations firmly in place, we look forward to building on this momentum and deepening our impact in 2026.
Thank you.
Allan Perrins Head of Communications, Resource Development and Fundraising
The past year at our hospital has been both challenging and deeply rewarding.
With a small but dedicated team of two veterinarians, four nurses, and committed hospital and theatre assistants, we have continued to deliver essential veterinary care to animals in need – despite increasing pressure and demand.
Our hospital remains exceptionally busy, managing a high volume of daily cases ranging from routine treatments to severe trauma.
We have treated many critical and complex cases, and the team’s resilience and unwavering commitment ensure that every patient is given a fair chance at life, no matter the circumstances.
We have also played an active role in supporting other organisations and participating in large-scale sterilisation campaigns. These collaborations continue to grow and remain a key focus in reducing animal suffering and overpopulation.
This year brought important advancements to the hospital. The introduction of a new X-ray unit has significantly enhanced our diagnostic capabilities and enabled us to expand into regular orthopaedic surgeries, now performed on a daily basis. In addition, two new in-house blood analysers have improved our ability to run full blood panels, allowing for faster diagnoses and more effective treatment.
Despite the challenges of limited resources and increasing caseloads, the team continues to push forward with determination and compassion – and their dedication remains the foundation of everything we achieve.
I am incredibly grateful to lead and work alongside such a reliable and passionate team, whose commitment makes it possible to keep changing and saving lives every day.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our wonderful donors and sponsors. Your support makes this work possible. Without your ongoing contributions, the care we provide, the lives we save, and the impact we make each day would simply not be achievable.
Because of you, we can continue to deliver hope, healing, and second chances to animals in need.
Jaque Le Roux Hospital Manger
2025 was a demanding and unforgettable year for the Inspectorate team.
Day after day, our inspectors answered calls for help, often going into difficult and dangerous situations to save animals that had no one else to speak for them.
Our team rescued injured ducks trapped in a canal, lifting them carefully to safety. In another rescue, inspectors climbed down deep sewer shafts to reach and retrieve three dogs that had fallen in and were unable to escape. Along the coastline, a baby penguin was found washed up on the shore and was safely rescued and given a second chance at life.
Wildlife, too, needed our help. A falcon became trapped in barbed wire fencing and had to be carefully freed before it could be taken for treatment. Our inspectors also responded to flooding in several communities, helping animals that were stranded and frightened by rising water. In nearby informal settlements, fires broke out and inspectors rushed in to rescue dogs from the flames and smoke.
Throughout the year, inspectors dealt with numerous cruelty cases. Animals suffering from neglect and abuse were investigated, and where necessary, confiscations were carried out to remove animals from harm and ensure they received the care they deserved.
2025 was also a milestone year for Inspector Crystal Fester, who proudly passed her Inspectorate exam and officially joined the ranks of those dedicated to protecting animals.
During the year, Inspector Fester experienced one of the most difficult moments of her career. While responding to an injured horse, she was robbed at gunpoint. Despite the terrifying ordeal, she refused to abandon the animal. Instead, she remained by its side until help arrived,
placing the welfare of the horse above her own fear.
For her courage, dedication, and unwavering compassion, Inspector Fester was honoured with a Cape Town Hero Award by the Mayor, Geordin Hill-Lewis. Although the year was filled with challenges, it ended in a way that reminds us why we do this work. Our annual endof-year Christmas party for children in the nearby settlement brought laughter, joy, and smiles to the community – a moment of warmth and kindness that closed a long and demanding year on a hopeful and compassionate note.
2025 showed, once again, that the work of the Inspectorate is not only about rescuing animals – it is about courage, compassion, and standing up for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Saving one dog might not change the world, but to that one dog, the world will change forever – Karen Davidson

Another year of second chances, hope, and new beginnings
Rehoming can be challenging, given our location and the unpredictable nature of adoption rates – but we remain steadfast in our mission. Despite these obstacles, we continue to make a meaningful impact by actively increasing visibility for our animals and expanding our outreach efforts.
We firmly believe that exposure creates opportunity. For this reason, we consistently spread our wings by attending community markets, school events, corporate functions, pet-friendly initiatives, and public gatherings. These engagements allow us to connect with new audiences, educate the public about responsible adoption, and showcase the incredible animals in our care.
Every event attended, every conversation shared, and every partnership formed plays a vital role in strengthening awareness and ultimately improving adoption outcomes. Through persistence, creativity, and community collaboration, we continue to open doors for our animals – even when the journey requires extra effort.
This past year has been a powerful reflection of our commitment to giving every animal the chance they deserve. Through dedication, compassion, and the unwavering support of our community, we have continued to change lives – both animal and human.
We are proud to share that 188 dogs and cats found their forever homes this year. Each adoption represents a new beginning, a family gained, and a promise fulfilled.
Among these were two of our longeststanding residents, who – after patiently watching others leave before them – finally found their own forever homes. These moments remind us why we remain
committed to every animal, no matter how long it takes.
Behind every adoption is a story of resilience:
• Chow Mein arrived abandoned and severely matted, in desperate need of care. Through rehabilitation and love, he transformed completely and is now thriving in a loving home in Durban.
• Harper, after surviving a motor vehicle accident, was heartbreakingly never reclaimed by her family. She became part of our shelter family and is now preparing to leave for a forever home of her own.
• Three Maltese dogs were surrendered in extremely poor condition – severely neglected and matted, requiring intensive care and patience. Thanks to our dedicated team and volunteers, all three have been fully rehabilitated and successfully rehomed.
These journeys are a testament to the resilience of animals and the life-changing impact of proper care and compassion.
Our volunteers: The heart of the adoption centre
We are incredibly fortunate to have a strong network of local and international volunteers, many of whom return year after year. Their dedication, time, and love play a vital role in the rehabilitation, socialisation, and overall wellbeing of our animals.
A special mention goes to our remarkable volunteer Saara, whose commitment to our cats and kittens has been nothing short of life-changing. Saara not only fosters animals herself, but has built and nurtured an extensive and reliable foster network, ensuring that vulnerable kittens and cats are placed into safe, loving temporary homes.
At Faircape, we appreciate the comfort, companionship, and countless moments of joy that animals bring to our daily lives. That’s why we proudly partner with AWS SA to offer Animal Assisted Activities (AAA) at the healthcare centres in each of our six pet-friendly retirement villages.
Through regular visits, AWS SA volunteers and their animals create uplifting experiences for our residents and staff, promoting emotional connection, reducing stress, and boosting overall well-being.
Our love for animals goes beyond just interactions though. We actively support pet welfare through donation drives, sterilisation campaigns, and initiatives to reduce the overpopulation of cats and dogs.
Because at Faircape, we believe that caring for people means caring for animals too - after all, love is a four-legged word.

This year, we strengthened our connection with the community through a range of events and initiatives:
• We were honoured to take part in the OUTsurance Gun Run, where our team and dogs participated in the muchloved pet walk.
• We attended the Simply Gifts Market at Sans Souci Girls’ High School, engaging with supporters and showcasing our adoptable animals.
• Our visit to Tafelberg School allowed us to connect with learners with special needs and participate in their community market, promoting awareness and compassion for animals.
We were proud to be part of the milestone moment when the Radisson Hotel Group embraced a pet-friendly policy – a positive step towards a more inclusive and animalconscious society.
Our ongoing visits to Faircape Health centres continue to make a meaningful difference, providing comfort, joy, and therapeutic support to residents, while enriching the lives of our dogs through interaction and purpose.
One of our most memorable moments this year was saying goodbye to Salah, who began a new chapter in Switzerland. Stories like his highlight the far-reaching impact of our work and the global community that supports animal rescue.
As we move forward, we remain committed to:
• Increasing adoption rates
• Expanding our rehabilitation efforts
• Strengthening community outreach
• Continuing to provide a safe haven for every animal in need
Thank you to every adopter, donor, volunteer, and supporter who has walked this journey with us. Your compassion and generosity make our work possible and give every animal hope for a better tomorrow.
Together, we are changing lives – one adoption at a time.

This year 57% of our income came from bequests and you may be wondering how you can help animals when you no longer share their world.
Right now, more animals than ever need our help. Too many animals are still suffering and dying and we don’t have enough money to rescue them all.
Making a bequest to the Animal Welfare Society of South Africa is an uncomplicated way to continue to protect animals long into the future.
Your Will is much more than a legal document. It is your opportunity to make a statement about your beliefs and values and to leave a lasting legacy that will make a lasting difference for animals.
Bequests do not need to be large sums. Any amount can make a significant difference to our work and we are committed to respecting our testators wishes and honouring their legacy for the welfare of animals.
Please call or email Allan Perrins on (021) 692 2626 or allanperrins@awscape.org.za to find out how to join our Legacy Society.

The Five Freedoms are the Gold standard that we, as animal owners and carers, must understand and apply to ensure that the welfare of animals is provided for.
These standards are internationally recognised and are not just about the things that we want to do for our animals, but also the actions we must take in order to be responsible and caring pet owners.
1. Freedom from hunger and thirst by ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigour.
2. Freedom from discomfort by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area.
3. Freedom from pain, injury or disease by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.
4. Freedom to express (most) normal behaviour by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animal’s own kind.
5. Freedom from fear and distress by ensuring conditions and treatment that avoid mental suffering.
All donations, no matter how big or small, help us to continue to be the voice for the voiceless.
If you would like to make a donation, you can do so to our fundraising account or via our SnapScan link.
Alternatively, sign up for a monthly debit order: https://linkserv.emandate.co.za/AWSSA/
We always need donations of food, blankets and newspapers for our hospital patients.
